琵琶與弦樂四重奏 for pipa and string quartet by 馬水龍 MA SHUI-LONG. For String Quartet, pipa. 20th Century, World, 21st Century. Advanced. Score. Published by SpringAutumnmusic (S0.6185).
The pipa is one of the most expressive among the traditional Chinese plucked string instruments. Its irreplaceable versatility and charm reside in its unique way of making sorts of glissando, roll, powerful attack, etc. with a wide array of fingering techniques. The composer has particularly coupled both the masculine and effeminate characters of this distinctive traditional solo instrument, and integrated it with the western string quartet. Through the combination as well as the dialogue between the two, the composer tries to explore some alternative musical style and content. For Pipa and String Quartet was commissioned by Chew's Culture Foundation in 2000, and was premiered at the Taiwan National Concert Hall in 2001. 琵琶在傳統撥絃樂器中算是表現力最豐富的一種，其特殊的演奏技法如：吟、伏、拖、捻、撒、煞、輪與滾、張力滑音、絞弦…等，可展現獨特的音樂風貌與魅力，是其他樂器所無法取代的。作曲者特意嘗試將剛柔並濟個性鮮明的傳統獨奏樂器與西方弦樂四重奏的編制結合與對話，以期探索另類的音樂風格與內涵。 ※本曲2000年財團法人邱再興文教基金會委託創作之作品，2001年於國家音樂廳舉行世界首演。

小提琴奏鳴曲 Sonata for violin and piano by 馬水龍MA SHUI-LONG. For Piano, Violin. 20th Century, World, 21st Century. Advanced. Score. Published by SpringAutumnmusic (S0.6180).
This piece was composed between 1963 and 1964. It is one of the three works I created when I was still a student at the National Taiwan Academy of the Arts (formerly the National Taiwan University of the Arts), and also the most significant one among the three. The Violin Sonata was an attempt I made upon my graduation, when I decided to abandon the functional harmony of the western traditional major-minor system, in order to explore a personal musical language. The piece comprises three movements, like a sonata in the classical period. The idea of constructing its harmonic vocabulary comes from the traditional tuning of the pipa. First Movement: Introduction -- Allegretto with four stages of opening, elucidating, developing and concluding. Second Movement: Intoning Poem (Adagio) Third Movement: Rondo (Allegro) This piece was completed in 1964 and premiered at the International House of Taipei, by violinist Lu Hsin-ye and pianist Hsu Tzu-chen. 小提琴奏鳴曲 這首曲子完成於1963-4年之間，是作曲者藝專學生時代所留下來的三首作品之一，也是這三首作品中，對作曲者而言最具意義的一首。因為這是結束學生時代為探討個人的音樂語法，企圖放棄西方傳統大小調功能和聲體系，所做另類的嘗試。 全曲共分三個樂章，類似古典時期奏鳴曲形式，和聲結構觀念來自傳統琵琶定弦，所延伸的和聲結構體系，並加以發展。 第一樂章：序曲與起承轉合的小快板。 第二樂章：如吟誦的慢板詩曲。 第三樂章：快板的迴旋曲。 ※本曲1964年完成，同年6月間於台北國際學舍世界首演，演出者：小提琴家呂信也，鋼琴家許子珍。.

Johann Strauss jr. composed a great amount of polka's, mazurka's and marsches to perform with his own orchestra that played on 'dance soirees' in Vienna. His polka opus 332 'eljen a Magyar!' (Hungarian: Long Live the Magyar!!), was first performed at the Redoutensaal building in Pest in March 1869. The work was dedicated 'to the Hungarian Nation'. The coda of the work features a fleeting quotation from the Rakoczi March, which Hector Berlioz had earlier utilized in his La damnation de Faust.
